Thanks so much to all of you for taking the time to share your positive thoughts and comments. I read everyone of them.
We will post another video with "less" talking, and more trains operating before too much time goes by.
Mark : You're correct, once I decided to expand into the last area in the basement and make the layout 40 feet long rather than 27, it didn't take long for me to decide to convert the plan to a "folded over dog bone".
The original plan was going to be two distinct levels with a single track on a 2.5% grade to get between levels. That track is now going to serve as a short cut for a switcher to make a trip between the classification yard, and the interchange track without having to "foul up" 1/2 the main line to get there.
The original plan was tailored to fit in my original condo basement and was restricted to the shorter length. After my dad passed away I sold that condo and moved into his condo. Even though it was a smaller 2BR unit, it has a "larger" basement as the main living floor is all on one level, the other unit was 3BR/2 1/2 baths but on two floors... It all works out for the best.
Yes Leapin Larry that is the K Line Hudson upgraded by Pat at Harmonyards. Thanks so much for your help with getting me hooked up with Pat to do that project. The "new Hudson" is amazing !
